Peak bone mineral density (BMD) is a highly heritable trait in humans and is currently the best predictor of skeletal fragility underlying osteoporosis. The SAMP6 mouse strain displays unusually low BMD at maturity, and age-dependent osteopenia associated with defective osteoblastogenesis. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) influencing bone density, we constructed crosses between SAMP6 and either AKR/J or SAMP6, two related mouse strains of higher peak BMD. Due to common ancestry of these strains, intercross parents differed at only 39–40% of 227 highly-polymorphic genotyping markers, thus restricting our search to this informative portion of the genome and reducing the number of mice required for QTL significance. Using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), we measured spinal BMD in F2 cross progeny at 4 months of age, and selectively genotyped those in the highest and lowest quartiles for BMD. Based on linear regression of bone density on genotype, including Composite Interval Mapping to enhance mapping precision while adjusting for effects of distal markers, we identified multiple QTLs significantly affecting spinal BMD; these were mapped to regions of chromosomes 2 (two sites, one confirmed in both crosses), 7, 11, 13 and 16. One of these loci had been previously identified as a significant bone-density QTL, while 3 substantiate QTLs suggested by a low-power study of 24 recombinant-inbred mouse lines. Such recurrent appearance of QTLs, especially in crosses involving distantly-related strains, implies that polymorphism at these loci may be favored by evolution and might underlie variation in peak bone density among humans.

Re: Considering Canon 70-300 L to replace Sigma 100-300 f4
In reply to bigfatron • Nov 6, 2012
I have owned the following telephoto zooms, mainly for Wildife and general-telephoto-use:
1. 2004: Sigma 100-300 (replaced by 100-400).
2. 2005-2011: Canon 100-400, Canon 70-200 F4 IS
3. 2011- : Canon 70-300L. Replaced the above for weight, size and optics (sharp/contrasty).
If I was in your shoes, it would be a no brainer. I would replace the Sigma 100-300 for the Canon 70-300L, you will not regret it. Lower weight, IS and lovely optics at the loss of some f-stop. The f-stop loss can easily be compensated for by increased ISO (sensors are getting better and better).
Here is my roadmap:

In March, PornHub announced plans to run its first-ever advertising campaign in the U.S.
The porn site launched a competition encouraging users to send in their versions of what the SFW adverts should look like, with the winner being employed as PornHub's creative director on a one-year contract.
And now PornHub has announced the finalists and is asking people to vote for their favourite:
14. There were two video submissions as well:
Last month, to mark Arbor Day, PornHub announced it would plant a tree for every 100 videos watched in a specific category on the site.
The stunt was imaginatively called "Pornhub Gives America Wood".

SaveUp's Story
Early on, SaveUp™ founders noticed that virtually all Americans are still working towards the dream of financial independence: rebuilding savings and paying off debt. Personal finance can be lonely and frustrating. Perhaps what everyone needed was fun and motivation to be financially successful.
SaveUp's unique approach is based on Prize-Linked Savings, meaning: rewarding positive financial behavior with the opportunity to earn products and win large cash prizes, all while getting discounts on everyday expenditures. With prize drawings that are registered nationally and in all 50 states, SaveUp rewards savings and debt payoff by giving the chance to win up to $2 Million in cold hard cash.
Founded in 2010 by two Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, Priya Haji and Sammy Shreibati, SaveUp created the first free nationwide rewards program. By partnering with major consumer brands, SaveUp gives members the opportunity to win exciting and life-changing prizes for performing everyday positive financial activities. In 2015, SaveUp was purchased by entrepreneur Paul J. Burt and moved to his hometown of Lake Forest, Illinois. SaveUp is expected to grow exponentially in the next two years with unique partners in various vertical industries, combined with exciting new product offerings.

Paul purchased SaveUp in 2015 with the vision to offer a first-to-market program that combines financial and health wellness solutions with Prize-Linked incentives. With his foresight into B2B solutions combined with visionary industry automation, Paul will again redefine the future and delivery of employee benefits.

The staff on the boat was kind and knowledgeable. Kudos VIATOR and their staff. I had a problem with my ticket and Viator handled the situation as well as they organize their tours... Thank you Viator.
July 2016
Very good, worth doing..
June 2016
We took this river cruise at night and got to see many of the attractions of Paris lit up. It was a wonderful way to see many of the places we didn't get to see since we only in Paris a few short days.
June 2016
This tour was amazing!
June 2016
Wonderful overview of Paris!!
May 2016
worked out wonderful
May 2016
Easy Fun! Great way to take a break from walking and see the city from the river. Large boat and comfy too. Even if it rains it has views from covered underneath part. :
January 2016
This was a fantastic tour! I loved the way that the time was not set and you could go any time on the day you signed up for. We did an afternoon after going to the D'Orssay in the morning. The guide on the boat was able to give information about the sights in just about any language! It was great to see some of the landmarks of Paris from the river. It was a great perspective. This was a tour that was not expensive and well worth the money!
September 2015
A must for everyone each time they visit Paris.
curtischa United States of ...

I like the view from the River and seeing the interesting sites along the way.

Celebrity Pictures in Designer Jeans
Victoria Justice in Paige Premium
Victoria Justice was snapped walking around the Farmer's Market in Studio City, California with Ryan Rottman a few days ago. They were seen browsing around the Green Garmento booth and decided to have a snack at the apple stand.
Victoria looked very western in a pair of cowboy boots, a plaid flannel shirt, a trucker hat, a graphic tee and a pair of Paige Premium Skyline jeans in Tropics. I love the jeans, I've always liked the Tropics wash, it's very pretty! I can't say I like the overall outfit though. Buy these jeans online at Revolve for $200.
Nicky Hilton in Paige Premium Layne Cargos & Levi's Denim Jacket
I noticed that when Nicky Hilton walks her hair is always bouncing. She does have some healthy shiny hair. Nicky wore a pair of the Paige Premium Layne Cargos in Jungle with a Levi's denim jacket. I have to say, I'm not too much of a fan of the pairing of a denim jacket with cargos. I have always found it to look a bit awkward in my opinion.
Are any of you excited to see Paris Hilton's new show The World According to Paris? I wonder if Nicky will be making any quick appearances? I know that she usually shies away from being on camera though. Plus, Paris is living in her house. Would you like to see Nicky here and there on Paris' show? You can click here to purchase these cargos at PaigeUSA for $169 and the Levi's jacket from their website.
Levi's x MOCA Collaboration
Levi's has teamed up with Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles to feature artists from their Art in the Streets exhibition. The artists will be designing art work for the back of Levi's trucker jackets. There will be 10 jackets released overall, each by a different artist with the final jacket being a tribute to the late Keith Haring. The collaboration doesn't stop there however, at the museum, Levi's has also established a film center, which will host workshops on film making as well as allow for onsite films to be created and then automatically uploaded to Vimeo. You can view the workshop schedule on the Levi's website here.
The jackets retail for $250 and 100% of the proceeds with benefit MOCA.
Heidi Klum in Isabel Marant
Heidi Klum was spotted at the Fredric Fekkai Salon in West Hollywood, California to tape a segment for AOL. Heidi wore the Isabel Marant Pliro Trousers for the taping. I really like the fit of these on Heidi, even more on her than on Kate Moss. I think it may be pairing them with the heels. They look more flattering the way they are styled here.
It also looks like Heidi changed the laces on hers as well. They look thinner than the ones that they originally come with. I really do like these pants. I hope to get even more sightings in them on more people. Maybe on Kate Bosworth? I would love to see how she would style them. You can click here to purchase these pants at Net-A-Porter for $455.

Sample Code:
Dim myObject
Set myObject = JSON.parse(someJsonResponseFromTheServer)
The Problem:
When code similiar to this is ran in my application, it throws a
500 error from the server with a message similar to "Object Does not support property or method 'someProperty'. What I would like to do to solve this problem is something like this:
Dim myObject
Set myObject = JSON.parse(someJsonResponseFromTheServer)
If myObject.someProperty Then
End If
However, if I add the conditional, it throws the same error on the line with the conditional instead of the line with the method call.
My Question:
In ASP Classic, how do you detect if a property exists within an object without throwing an error?

text: Magic Box by Monakrome published on 2010-01-31T10:55:28Z This is a bit quirky but I actually like this a lot - it is a single take performance using the Roland 100m and Doepfer modular synths with no editing. It's the first time I had an idea and tried putting it to music - it's about the magic that a child feels when they discover something exciting and lose themselves in play (i.e. me and synths). I was going to add strings and edit out some of the sqeaks but have decided to leave it as it is. Entirely played on Roland 100m VCOs, LFOs and VCFs using a Doepfer Joystick controlling Roland LFO levels with a pair of Doepfer linear VCAs via a Doepfer dual quantizer, tempo set by a LFO, The filters are controlled manually and also by long time constant ADSRs triggereed by the quantizer - complicated? Guess that's why I have not been able to reproduce the patch - must take better notes!

BYU's Mendenhall not surprised Petersen left Boise State for Washington
Matt Gade, Deseret News
PROVO — Former BYU quarterback Steve Sarkisian stepped down as Washington's coach earlier this month to take the job at USC.
Days later, the Huskies hired Boise State coach Chris Petersen, though Petersen hasn't been involved very much with Washington's preparation for the Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 27 in San Francisco, where the Huskies will play BYU.
The Cougars beat Petersen's Broncos this season, 37-20, in Provo.
Washington's interim coach is Marques Tuiasosopo, a former Huskies quarterback. Petersen is busy recruiting and hiring his staff and will fully take over the program after the bowl game.
Mendenhall was asked if he was surprised Petersen left Boise State for Washington.
"No, I wasn't," he said. "My simple analysis of that, without talking to him other than before we played them (in October), what else is he going to do at Boise State? What other room is there to grow? They've been to BCS games. They're not in an elite league. He's done everything, I think, possible with the program and the situation that Boise is currently in and is ready for a new challenge.
"He's taking on a lot, but sometimes you get anxious for more," Mendenhall continued. "I think that's what it is. I think he knows what he's choosing. I think he's excited about it. This is all speculation — that is just from my perspective of what I see. I think he just maxed out what he could do there and he wants to help other kids in a different program."
BYU running back Jamaal Williams, who was recruited by Petersen and Boise State, didn't expect Petersen to leave Boise.
"I was kind of surprised he left Boise State to go to Washington," he said. "But it's college football. Coaches have to do what they have to do for their families and what's best for them. It's like a business. Coaches have to leave sometimes. That's one of the things I like about coach Mendenhall. He makes a promise that he'll stay with it. He promised that he'd be here for a while. But he knows that he's going to leave one day, but no time soon. So I'm just happy about that."
IT'S FOOTBALL: Senior wide receiver/kick return specialist JD Falslev suffered a fractured hand during a team activity in late October, but returned to action sooner than expected, playing in the final two games of the season against Notre Dame and Nevada.
Doctors put a metal plate in Falslev's hand during surgery after the injury. He was rehabbing four days later.
"I was very blessed and I'm lucky to be where I am with my situation. It's been a roller-coaster of a month," Falslev said. "Not something I've planned. But I have great people around me. It's doing well. It will continue to get better. It's not something I pay attention to on the field."
In the Nevada game, he got hit on his broken hand with a helmet. Doctors X-rayed his hand during the game.
"That didn't tickle. It didn't feel very good," Falslev said of getting hit with a helmet. "They just wanted to X-ray it and make sure the metal piece was still intact and the bone was intact. Once that happened, it was just a pain management deal. We got through that. But it wasn't fun."
Falslev called the injury a "freak" accident that could have happened anywhere.
He added that fractured bones are part of the game.
"It still felt broken after those first couple of games. It's football. At this stage of the year, if you're playing and nothing hurts, you haven't been playing all year. Or you're playing it the wrong way. It's the game of football. It hurts, but at the same time, we're a little crazy and we love to do it. You do what you do."
'TIS THE SEASON: One of the perks of playing in a bowl game is the gifts.
"You can never overlook those things," BYU senior defensive lineman Eathyn Manumaleuna said with a smile.
Every bowl provides items for players and coaches to enjoy for their participation in the game.
What was Manumaleuna's favorite bowl gift?
"Money is always good. The credit card," he said. "My wife will appreciate that. The money aspect is always something that we look forward to."

"By far the best account of the decisive campaign of the Iraq War, and the conduct of modern American counterinsurgency, and also the best account anywhere about the inner workings of contemporary Iraqi politics. This book will remain the seminal work on this important part of the American experience in Iraq for many years."—Conrad Crane, lead author of Army/Marine Corps Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency

Surge is an insider's view of the most decisive phase of the Iraq War. After exploring the dynamics of the war during its first three years, the book takes the reader on a journey to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where the controversial new U.S. Army and Marine Corps counterinsurgency doctrine was developed; to Washington, D.C., and the halls of the Pentagon, where the Joint Chiefs of Staff struggled to understand the conflict; to the streets of Baghdad, where soldiers worked to implement the surge and reenergize the flagging war effort before the Iraqi state splintered; and to the halls of Congress, where Ambassador Ryan Crocker and General David Petraeus testified in some of the most contentious hearings in recent memory.
Using newly declassified documents, unpublished manuscripts, interviews, author notes, and published sources, Surge explains how President George W. Bush, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Ambassador Crocker, General Petraeus, and other U.S. and Iraqi political and military leaders shaped the surge from the center of the maelstrom in Baghdad and Washington.
Editorial Reviews
"Few—VERY few—studies of military operations are authored by someone who combines the qualities of an outstanding scholar with the experience of having been the commanding general's executive officer. Mansoor tells the story of a very rare type of military operation: creating victory in the context not merely of ongoing defeat but imminent catastrophe. And he tells it like a scholar: no hero-worship, no pointing with pride and viewing with alarm."—Dennis Showalter, author of Patton and Rommel: Men of War in the Twentieth Century
"Peter Mansoor has shed fresh light and understanding on the U.S. experience in Iraq, illuminating war's political nature as well as its human and psychological dimensions. Surge is a story of adaptation, which highlights the importance of continuously assessing complex situations and acting to seize and retain the initiative. It will be thought-provoking not only to all interested in the Iraq War, but also to those interested in how to lead change in large organizations and enterprises."—H. R. McMaster, author of Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Lies that Led to Vietnam
"This is one of the best books to emerge from the Iraq War. I expect it will be remembered as one of the most insightful accounts from an insider of the key 'surge' phase of that conflict. The chapter on the Sunni Awakening especially stands out as a terrific overview of that critical development."—Thomas E. Ricks, author of Fiasco, The Gamble and The Generals: American Military Command from World War II to Today
Runner-up for the 2013 Southern California Book Festival, in the Biography/Autobiography category, sponored by JM Northern Media LLC.
"The definitive account. . . . A fascinating combination of grand strategy and personal vignettes."—Max Boot, Wall Street Journal
"Scholars of military history and students of national security affairs will find Surge an invaluable resource. The book is highly readable despite its impressive scholarship and sourcing, and benefits from its author's professional training as an historian and his rigorous analytical approach . . . . No one seriously interested in the complexities of strategic thinking in general or this conflict, and America's ongoing struggle to coherently link its policy aims to actionable plans, can overlook Mansoor's analysis or conclusions."—War on the Rocks blog
Won a Honorable Mention for the 2014 Los Angeles Book Festival in the General Non-Fiction Category.
Finalist for the 2013 Guggenheim-Prize in Military History.
"Indispensable. . . . Surge should be in any serious reader's short stack of books on the war in Iraq."—Mark Kukis, Michigan War Studies Review
Mansoor (military history, Ohio State Univ.), a retired U.S. Army colonel, was Gen. David Petraeus's executive officer during the surge (2007–08) about which he writes. In short, he provides an insider's account of one of the most controversial and hotly debated strategies adopted by George W. Bush's administration in its conduct of the Iraq War. The "surge strategy" involved the introduction of some 30,000 additional U.S. troops into Iraq in order to stem the tide of violence in that country which was teetering on the verge of collapse. Mansoor had intimate knowledge of the war's strategy. Relying on his personal knowledge as well as an array of declassified primary sources, interviews, unpublished manuscripts, and published secondary sources, he offers the most detailed report of the policy process and implementation of the surge counterinsurgency operations in Iraq. VERDICT The book is generally an upbeat analysis of the surge. Its central thesis that the surge was a successful strategy can certainly be challenged in view of continuing violence and mayhem in Iraq today. Nonetheless, this is a useful source for those interested in studying the inner thinking of U.S. military planners during the Iraq War.—Nader Entessar, Univ. of South Alabama, Mobile
Deeply controversial at the time, the surge ended up being the most successful phase of the Iraq War, according to one of its architects. Mansoor (Baghdad at Sunrise: A Brigade Commander's War in Iraq, 2008), a military historian who served as Gen. David Petraeus' executive officer in Iraq, gives an insider's account of the political machinations and boots-on-the-ground strategies behind the rapid increase in troop numbers in 2007. Lamenting "[t]he misinformation and ignorance--among the general public, in the historical community, within the halls of government and even in the military," surrounding the surge, the author makes a convincing case for its efficacy at facilitating at least "the creation of a patchwork of localized political accommodations and then the stitching together of these patches into a larger reconciliation between the sects." The author reveals the thinking that went into one of the key inflection points of the war, aided by his intimate familiarity with the key players in both Washington, D.C., and Baghdad and his experience with soldiers on the front lines. Mansoor portrays Petraeus as a capable and dedicated strategist and manager who was nevertheless unprepared for the dire political realities of Iraq; he was shocked when, at a welcome dinner in his honor, two of the country's senior leaders nearly came to blows. Though he defends the surge as a huge success both militarily and politically, Mansoor is less sanguine about the current prospects for Iraq: "That the subsequent history…has not turned out to be as peaceful nor as politically productive as one would have hoped has had more to do with how U.S. policy makers and their Iraqi counterparts fumbled the political endgame than with the concept or military outcome of the surge itself." Lively and vivid. Recommended for readers with an interest in military history and strategy or the challenges of nation building.

Author Peter Mansoor is a Prof. of Military History at OSU, West Pointer, and former X.O. to Gen David H. Petraeus (DHP) during the Surge in Iraq in 2007. This book recounts in detail the pre-Surge, Surge, and post-Surge mission in Iraq with an insider's knowledge of what really went on. Each chapter written was checked for accuracy by DHP. A Foreword by DHP serves as an overview and outline for the chapters that follow. So it is really a dual-authored book. Mansoor enjoys a bond with DHP and his perspective is pro-DHP throughout the book. This book proves the Surge was 'hard all the time' just as 'Iraq is hard all the time'. DHP encountered a Sunni majority ruled by a Shia (al-Maliki), bitterness over the MNF-I 'control' of Iraq, no infrastructure, huge unemployment due to Bremer's earlier 'de'Baathing' of armed services, U.S. intraservice rivalry, Rumsfeld and Feith with feet fixed in place, al-Qaeda taking advantage of the destroyed country, multiple 'advisors' in task forces, civilian councils such as AEI, Senator McCain, and President Bush who took personal charge of the war late. But DHP and Team Petraeus turned an impossible situation around, preventing the U.S. from losing the war. This book with its step-by-step accounting of that process is requisite reading for junior officers in U.S. armed forces, Poli Sci majors, Foreign Service officers, MHQ and Military History buffs, and International Relations students. The detail may be too much for casual military history readers.

Religion can be roughly divided into three broad categories: world religions, which includes transcultural, international faiths such as Christianity; indigenous religions, which refers to culture and place-specific religious groups; and new religious movements, which describe recently developed faiths.
Religion essentially describes a cultural system that connects humanity with beliefs and values through narratives, symbols, and histories. These often deal with questions about the meaning of life, death, and the origin of the universe.
Whereas "spirituality" or one's "belief system" is individual and oftentimes private, religion is public, organized, and typically involves adherence or membership, meetings, and services which bring together the congregation for commemoration of the activities of a god or gods, festivals, feasts, trance, initiations, births, funerals, music, art, dance, public service, or other aspects of human culture.

While there's some buzz going on about Kim and Kanye's recent erotic photo shoot for the French magazine L'Officiel Hommes, there is also some talk about Kim's ugly divorce battle with NBA baller Kris Humphries.
According to recent reports, Kim is being slammed for embellishing her fertility issues "for the sake of her career."
Radar Online reports that the recent news could cause 'problems' for Kim in her forthcoming divorce from ex-husband Kris Humphries.
Kim and her boyfriend, rapper Kanye West announced that they were expecting their first child together back in December.
Daily Mail U.K reports,
The 32-year-old star claimed on a recent episode of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami that medical tests showed her hormone levels were 'really suppressed' due to having been on birth control for several years.
'My egg levels came back as a woman that's in her 50s,' she declared to the cameras. 'I'm concerned just hearing all this information of how every woman is born with a certain amount of eggs, and that number can never be increased.
'Maybe this just isn't in the cards for me, and I'm freaking out a little bit.'
Although a source tells Radar Online that Kim however was "grossly exaggerating her fertility worries."
The report also adds,
"Kim's supposed fertility problems were no where near as dire as she made them out to be," a source told Radar. "Yes, her estrogen levels were low, but she had been on the pill for a very, very long time.
"She was in a healthy normal range though, given she had been on birth control."
The source added that Kim 'absolutely does not have fertility issues like Khloe."
'This could seriously damage Kim's credibility and bolster Kris's case that he was duped into marrying her.'
The divorce trial between the two is set to start on May 6.

Get on the D-BUS
D-BUS is an interprocess communication (IPC) system, providing a simple yet powerful mechanism allowing applications to talk to one another, communicate information and request services. D-BUS was designed from scratch to fulfill the needs of a modern Linux system. D-BUS' initial goal is to be a replacement for CORBA and DCOP, the remote object systems used in GNOME and KDE, respectively. Ideally, D-BUS can become a unified and agnostic IPC mechanism used by both desktops, satisfying their needs and ushering in new features.
D-BUS, as a full-featured IPC and object system, has several intended uses. First, D-BUS can perform basic application IPC, allowing one process to shuttle data to another—think UNIX domain sockets on steroids. Second, D-BUS can facilitate sending events, or signals, through the system, allowing different components in the system to communicate and ultimately to integrate better. For example, a Bluetooth dæmon can send an incoming call signal that your music player can intercept, muting the volume until the call ends. Finally, D-BUS implements a remote object system, letting one application request services and invoke methods from a different object—think CORBA without the complications.
D-BUS is unique from other IPC mechanisms in several ways. First, the basic unit of IPC in D-BUS is a message, not a byte stream. In this manner, D-BUS breaks up IPC into discrete messages, complete with headers (metadata) and a payload (the data). The message format is binary, typed, fully aligned and simple. It is an inherent part of the wire protocol. This approach contrasts with other IPC mechanisms where the lingua franca is a random stream of bytes, not a discrete message.
Second, D-BUS is bus-based. The simplest form of communication is process to process. D-BUS, however, provides a dæmon, known as the message bus dæmon, that routes messages between processes on a specific bus. In this fashion, a bus topology is formed, allowing processes to speak to one or more applications at the same time. Applications can send to or listen for various events on the bus.
A final unique feature is the creation of not one but two of these buses, the system bus and the session bus. The system bus is global, system-wide and runs at the system level. All users of the system can communicate over this bus with the proper permissions, allowing the concept of system-wide events. The session bus, however, is created during user login and runs at the user, or session, level. This bus is used solely by a particular user, in a particular login session, as an IPC and remote object system for the user's applications.
Messages are sent to objects. Objects are addressed using path names, such as /org/cups/printers/queue. Processes on the message bus are associated with objects and implemented interfaces on that object.
D-BUS supports multiple message types, such as signals, method calls, method returns and error messages. Signals are notification that a specific event has occurred. They are simple, asynchronous, one-way heads-up messages. Method call messages allow an application to request the invocation of a method on a remote object. Method return messages provide the return value resulting from a method invocation. Error messages provide exceptions in response to a method invocation.
D-BUS is fully typed and type-safe. Both a message's header and payload are fully typed. Valid types include byte, Boolean, 32-bit integer, 32-bit unsigned integer, 64-bit integer, 64-bit unsigned integer, double-precision floating point and string. A special array type allows for the grouping of types. A DICT type allows for dictionary-style key/value pairs.
D-BUS is secure. It implements a simple protocol based on SASL profiles for authenticating one-to-one connections. On a bus-wide level, the reading of and the writing to messages from a specific interface are controlled by a security system. An administrator can control access to any interface on the bus. The D-BUS dæmon was written from the ground up with security in mind.
These concepts make nice talk, but what is the benefit? First, the system-wide message bus is a new concept. A single bus shared by the entire system allows for propagation of events, from the kernel (see The Kernel Event Layer sidebar) to the uppermost applications on the system. Linux, with its well-defined interfaces and clear separation of layers, is not very integrated. D-BUS' system message bus improves integration without compromising fine engineering practices. Now, events such as disk full and printer queue empty or even battery power low can bubble up the system stack, available for whatever application cares, allowing the system to respond and react. The events are sent asynchronously, and without polling.
...for the nice article! Now I'll do some googling myself to find out how to use it in practice :-)
Thanks for this material, i was able to write program with this!
Thanks to Robert Love.
I am able to understand this material and i was succeed in writing small program.
Naga Samrat Chowdary, Narla
client side of the example
If my understanding is correct, I should have a server object providing the method Peel to reply to the method request.Do I register it via "dbus_g_connection_lookup_g_object" and the object information via "void dbus_g_object_type_install_info"
Also when the server object get the Peel method, does it use "void dbus_g_method_return" to retun a message. Thx

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide
